We really like these 5-ply paddles from Nimatsu's Competition line. The high-quality ITTF-approved smooth inverted rubber with 2.0 sponge provides substantial spin and speed. The feel and performance is closer to custom paddles than most other recreational paddles. Handle styles are attractive, professional-looking and feel comfortable to the hand. The Nimatsu Scorpion is faster than the Spinfighter, with an OFF speed rating. *Please note: these paddles are sold individually; the image above is to illustrate the two handle styles, flared (FL) and anatomic (AN)*

Good value on Scorpion II. Agree with another customer that the paddle has a little kick to it for a pre-assembled paddle. Rubber grips the ball. I have a carbon paddle that is faster, but use this one to practice on my touch with spin when looping.

good beginner paddle

great for beginners who need to learn control. This paddle plays slow. Rubber doesnt have a lot of grip compared to custom paddles. I outgrew it within six month.

Awsome Paddle !

I got the scorpion as a birthday present. I am knew to table tennis but I love it already. It is great for top spins. The rubber looks and feels great. Very nice quality for a cheap price. Can any body tell me if there are any more great paddles like this? lol

Surprisingly good!

I have an expensive blade and rubber and I got the Scorpion just for my friends who come over who dont really know the difference between pro gear and rec gear. It looks good. But the surprise is that for a recreational paddle it has great kick. Definitely great for this price!

great paddle

the scorpion paddle is a great paddle for the allround-to-offensive player. the spin you can generate is very high. if you want an awesome paddle for recreation or tournament play, this is the one for you.
